This is new? In 2019? Really? I find that so hard to believe.

WHAAAAT? WHY?

I feel like Robin Williams fresh out of Jumanji yelling "WHAT YEAR IS IT?"

Hopefully the person does not have Argyll Robertson pupils https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argyll_Robertson_pupil which is seen in late stage syphilis and causes the pupil not to react to the light.

Also, another thing is that they should make sure that they train their system with dark eyed people. Often the iris is very easy to identify if people with light colored eyes. In people with dark eyes, it may be more difficult.

Yeah that sounds terrible. It would be much better to detect saccades and/or blinks.
